Why would you do ancients in 28mm?
My heart wants to click ‘Checkout’ but my brain says ‘What the actual fuck!’

[FreddBloggs]

Hmmmm, why do syw, hundreds of figures, all looking the same except for coat colours?

Horses for coarses.

[Purple]

Exactly!
That was this lots fault as well!

Sorry to throw this in again but base sizes 25 or 20 square? You are 60 pages in now so I can’t be arsed to look

[FreddBloggs]

Mine are on pennies and sabot.

[goat major]

You can indeed do sabots.

Really cool people do 20mm squares.

Yeh. Wot you said.

I've abandoned my 25mm shiny medieval project and I'm going back to my faithful 20mm ancients on pretty bases.

Happy place again.

I’m erring over 1st corps classical Indians but Xyston Miniatures are more enticing.

The Xyston figures I've seen do look rather smashing, but I've heard that there has been some scale drift. I don't know if that's within armies......or if it's even true.

4 horse chariots, elephants, half-naked men waving two-handed choppers.......what’s not to like?

I’m doing mine on 20x20’

I have a huge Xyston Macedonian army unpainted. Complete with elephants.
